A week ago today, I gave a lucky listener THE final pair of tickets to the Minnesota Twins Winter Caravan stop for this week in St. Cloud. The trivia question I asked was pretty good, but the story behind the available tickets was even better. :)
Not everyone who wins stuff from the radio is a "prize pig"...that's the nickname we have for serial winners who tend to be greedy and unsatisfied. Kari of Little Falls showed her "Minnesota Nice" by sharing her Twins tickets, and surprising her husband with something extra!

Last Thursday afternoon, Kari was driving home from her job up in Onamia and decided to try and "Guess JW's 4 O'Clock Song" to win the very last 4-pack of Twins Caravan tickets. When she won, I also asked who she was going to bring with her to the event. She said she'd bring her husband and find some other people to go. After her call, I kept getting so many sad callers as I broke the news of having no more tickets. :(

I hardly ever do this, but since seeing the Minnesota Twins was in such high demand, I called Kari back and still offered her the 4-pack of Caravan tickets OR if she could give me back two tickets to giveaway on Friday, then I would give her something else from the prize closet?

I truly expected her to keep the tickets, but she agreed while asking about the 98 Country Ski Day this past Sunday. I just so happened to have a few spots left on the guest list, and it just so happened that her husband is a huge snowboarder who hadn't been in quite some time!

So, a week ago today in the 6PM hour, I asked my trivia question to give away the last 2 Twins Caravan tickets:

"Country artist Jerrod Niemann is from a certain US state, and Randy Houser is from a different one. If they were going to visit each other...what state would they have to travel through the most?"

Do you know the answer? CLICK HERE to see if you guessed correctly. Callers #9 & #10 both had incorrect answers, but Pam of Avon was caller #11 with the right answer and excitedly won the last chance tickets! They ended up being for her grandson Rowan, who at 3 years old knows almost every current Twins player- thanks to bedtime stories from his dad Jon.

To complete a good story of sharing, a grateful Pam got to meet & thank Kari and her husband at Powder Ridge on Sunday. Now that's what I call Minnesota Nice!
